Focus on the Family commits a great evil

[elfs]

Okay, say what you want about Michael Moore, the man still deserves a measure of common decency. So when Focus on the Family chooses to publish, with no explanation, where Moore's children can be found in their daily email to their followers, you have to wonder if "common decency" can be found even among those who swear upon their favorite stack of Bible that they're doing it all in "the name of decency."

There are simply some things you don't do. And yes, I'm sure that one could have dug Moore's address and phone number out of some legal paperwork somewhere-- that's not the point. The tipping point between relative anonymity (which Moore's kids surely deserve) and open exposure is maintained only by a certain amount of social grace, which FotF has now demonstrated they completely lack.

Given how unpopular Moore is with some people, this is unwelcome, unwarrented, unChristian, and unAmerican. And those are the nice things I can say about Dobson's little smear campaign.

You may remember from some years ago, a website that posted the names and addresses of doctors that performed abortions, with the intent that some anti-abortion fanatic go murder them in the name of preventing more abortions. Such murders were happening around that time, too, though I don't recall if any of the doctors on that list were gunned down.

A Christian web site, of course. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself.
